So is Donald Trump a Christian? Yes.

Does your religion require the adherent to ask for and accept the forgiveness of Jesus?

You don’t have to be a Christian to be a good president. We go to church to receive spiritual necessity. We need a tough leader to enable us to enjoy our freedom to practice our religion. If that leader is a Jew or even an atheist, this country must be made great again. Remember that God provides for his own purpose and in his own way. Besides I don’t know what is in Donalds heart. He contributes to a lot of charities and helpless people, veterans, etc. Why put down the man? Not very Christian-like.

I would like to change the title to ............... “Can We Judge the Christianity of Barack Obama?” The media never seems to go there.

Do you have a religion that precludes the screen name “Poison Pill” as problematic? :-)

Assuming you actually care, I will give you the benefit of the doubt and an example.

At the debate a week ago they talked about Scalia, and Trump offered two conservative judges for consideration. Nobody else on stage actually offered suggestions.

Two days later, Monday, Cruz was talking to voters, and he said that the only person Donald Trump ever suggested for the Supreme Court was his sister.

Cruz was standing right next to Trump at the debate, so it’s crystal clear that he was lying to voters.

There’s a laundry list of other lies that he’s either told himself or allowed his campaign/surrogates to tell.

He’s lost all credibility in my opinion. He should have fired his campaign manager after Iowa.

I’ll still vote for him if I must, but I’d rather Trump win.

Why?

Did Jesus implement a time limit while I wasn’t looking?

A critique of a candidate is not “hatred”. Unless you subscribe to the prevailing standards of the modern day “generation snowflake” member.

True, but Obama didn’t start that whirlwind by questioning the faith of his opponents. Trump has. If Trump can open the door, others can enter. And Trump can’t whine about it.

Matthew 7: 1-6

That scripture is more misused by liberals and non-believers than any in the Bible.

Jesus is saying don’t be a HYPOCRITE. Even in that same chapter, we are told to make judgements ...
15 “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them.

Is homosexuality wrong? Is abortion? Is stealing? If we say yes, we’ve made a judgement.

The current pope isn’t in any position to go questioning anyone.
Nor is anyone who would accord him such authority, given his actions and his words.

I say this as a Cruz supporter.

Judge/condemn, or Judge/discern?

We are not to do the first, that is the prerogative of God alone. For the second, we may or may not have sufficient information, and fair leeway and recognition of those limits should be made.

Ole Donald sure missed one of the most basic tenants of Christianity on that one. Not sure how someone could miss that one.

I guess with all the PC and new wave religion that so many of the so-called preachers are selling today, it’s possible that one could miss on some of the basic tenants.

I just asked a question. And don’t forget that we are told to judge a tree by it’s fruit.
